they're murder mysteries. set in 2059 with a woman cop and her ritch husband.

I will definitely try them. Sounds good. Part of the reason I joined this club was to blast myself out of a 'reading rut' so to speak, and , with all the great suggestions, I'm having a wonderful time!!!
I'm almost done with 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'...
It is great!!!

I love J.D. Robb and I've read a couple of her "in death" books...loved them!! She is such a fantastic writer...I haven't found a book by her (either as Robb or as Nora Roberts) that I haven't liked!

Suzanne what is "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" about?

[Suzanne]

It's actually a murder-mystery, but it starts out slowly...you have to get by some political/financial/business jargon... but the character development is great and the story has become intricate and addicting!!!
The fact that it takes place, and deals with, Sweden and the Swedish, is definitely an added nuance to the story and I found some cultural differences...but it just added to the intrigue!
I am really looking forward to his next 2 books. Sadly, he died in 2004, so these 3 novels are it. He was an exceptional author.
This is our July book to read for the club!
Go for it!

Please be careful where you post your threads. I have each one marked out for certain things. The group discussion folder is meant only for the books that are read as a group based on the voting that takes place each month. I create the threads in that folder.

This is the one you want to dicuss non-group voted novels that may be read by others....

I read the first one: Naked in Death. I was pleasantly surprised. I've never read anything by Nora Roberts but the stuff I've seen from her seems fluffy so I was surprised a the depth of this. I like that it was an intelligent romance and I love the kickassness of the heroine.

My friend got me hooked on this series (along with Stephanie Plum). I enjoy the JD Robb books, but haven't liked the Nora Roberts books I read. I am much more interested in murder mysteries than romance.
